"arthur you're such a good soul you wouldn't leave us would you we're your family my boy loyalty should come before everything else we're counting on you you're the most special one there’s no one like you arthur after all god made the earth in seven days and on the eighth day he created you ARTHUR WITHOUT YOU WE'LL ALL STARVE TO DEATH YOU'RE GOING TO STAY WITH US INSTEAD OF THAT YOUNG LADY AREN'T YOU???"
#Dutch sitting somewhere between meddling brother and disappointed father here#and a third more sinister thing#the essays that could be written about performance of vulnerability and masculinity in this game#and how dutch weaponises both to get his way#what would Arthur have turned out like if he had fallen in with other people#better or worse#and for who
